Volunteering can be a remarkable adventure—for volunteers, it’s a way to connect with your community, meet new people and foster purposeful relationships, share your skills and learn new ones, have fun, and most importantly, “do good”, in a world that sorely needs it. For nonprofit organizations, it’s a creative and rewarding way to better serve your constituents and accomplish more than the resources at hand would provide. It’s also a way to bring new perspective and vitality to an organization.

SOAR 55 (Service Opportunities After Reaching 55), a program of Newton Community Service Center, is part of the Corporation for National and Community Service national network of volunteers agencies that tap the passion and experience of people over 55 to improve society. Founded on a national service model with the experience of engaging millions of volunteers across the country, SOAR 55 is an established volunteer program with a dedicated staff who will assist you in answering the question, “How can I help in a way that is meaningful, interesting and fits into my schedule?”

If you are over 55 year of age, we invite you to share your experience, make connections, use your skills and learn new ones, all while making a difference in your community.
